hard to say the words

by Antwan Fields - Aries

it was easy when i thought of it at first
but the words, they would not come, they could not 
terrific, i thought, i cannot say it
so i formed the words but my throat dried up, i gulped
and i tried it again, and again the words refused to come out, i could not say it, he looked at me expectantly, expecting what i don't know, for there was something bad about to come from my mouth, i could feel myself going soft inside as i said to myself "i really can't do it, i don't want to hurt him" but i really did not have a choice, and so i cleared my throat, and as the first tears came down my face i whispered to him, almost soundlessly "it's over. goodbye."
